Blast Attack a Snake Man?

I wonder in which direction the horsemen will go if they produce a new Blast Attack Staction. Would they make him one of Skeletors minions (like in the classic toy line) or one of the Snake Men (like in the classic Mini Comic). What would you prefer?
I think both alternatives would be okay for me, but I would prefer him being a Snake Men. With only 6 Warriors they are still the smallest group in the MotU universe and they could need 1 more warrior. And I like the Classic Minicomic, where he was one of them. So I think it would be a good idea if the Horsemen would give him a Snake Logo and a little bid more "snakey" design than the classic figure had.

He isn't a snake man but he is definitely part of the snakemen.
He was created by King Hiss so to me he will always be part of that faction.
The mini explained that and I will always stay with that origin.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no!

1) Blast Attak was never a Snakeman. He was clearly packaged as an Evil Warrior.
2) The Snakemen suck
3) The minicomic which featured him as such was merely a cost cutting measure. Why make a new comic to explain BA when we can just randomly dump him somewhere else?
4) The Snakemen suck
5) How does a faction with zero technological background or know-how suddenly concieve a cybernetic demolitions expert?
6) He doesn't even LOOK like a Snake. There is nothing in his design that even vaguely evokes a snake-like feel.
7) And the Snakemen suck!

People who say certain characters should never be remade is stupid. Throw rocks at them.

I support Filmation characters for MOTUC! Let Mattel know it's worth their while to get the rights to those characters!

No he is not. He is part of Skeletor's evil warriors.
But I've always thought of Ninjor as a Bounty Hunter. He goes where the money is. But that's just how I see him anyway no cannon there.

You just made Ninjor cooler in my eyes!
I was going to comment on how he could be the Boba Fett of MOTU, but I reserve that title to Blade. Than again the movie villians were bounty hunters... Now I am confused ...

@Rook: Most of your arguments are good, but I don't agree with the points 2,4 and 7.

I agree that he doesn't look like a snake. So I think it would be a cool idea if the Horsemen would give his face a more snakelike style when sculpting a new Staction. His face is green anway and it is damn ugly. Imagine him with a face similar to Snake Face. I think this would look great! In the new cartoon the Snake Men had no knowledge of technologie but take a look at the minicomics. In a flashback you can see Snake Men wearing futuristic armor and using laser weapons. So there is room for different interpretations.

Have you guys looked at the toy that closely? His helmet is a snake head. Look closer.

Well, don't get me wrong. I'm the biggest fan of Blast Attack being a Snake Man but I'm not sure if his helmet is a proof of that. I looked very close at it when I've build my 200x Blast Attack custom. There are some red eyes on this helmet but not much more. It's up to your interpretation what it is.

By the way: This was my Blast Attack interpretation for 200x. The custom figure shows how I would imagine his look for the 200x line.

I don't understand what's wrong with him being with the snake men. It's similar to Kobra Khan but in the other way around.
Kahn used to be one of Skeletor's warriors and then became a Snake Man. Why can't Blast Attack be part of both groups?

Blast Attack was created by Hiss and started with the Snakes then moved to Skeletors forces.
